It’s going to be interesting to see if Rubio and Cruz team up and cancel events in certain states, effectively consolidating support in order to take out Trump. That’ll tell us who is establishment and what the actual plan is.
Doubt it will happen, but if they follow the rules, what is the problem? Would that really be any different than Trump benefitting because of the large number of candidates splitting the non-Trump votes?
If Rubio were to drop out today, or even after this Saturday, Cruz would likely have a pretty good path to the nomination. If Rubio were to drop out before Saturday, Cruz would be a lock for the nomination.
Personally, I think primaries should have runoffs of the top two if no one gets 50% of the votes like in most state race primaries. However, that is not what is currently in place now, so the party needs to stick with the current rules even though they appear to currently favor Trump.
The rules are what the rules are; just follow them.
Anybody but Hillary.
I don’t see how they can do that.
